Abstract
Coaching offers a transformative tool for individual growth and organizational transformation, yet the absence of standardized cultural competence frameworks in coaching education limits its impact. The purpose of this article is to explore our emerging research findings on cultural competence in coaching education, drawing from a literature review, a survey of coaching educators, as well as follow-up interviews on how they incorporate cultural competence into their programmes. We examine how we arrived at this research, the key insights gained thus far, and how these insights inform learning at the individual, team, organizational, and policy levels. We call on HRD professionals to embed cultural competence as a central element of coaching education, fostering equitable, learning-centreed workplaces where both clients and coaches can grow, thrive, and succeed.
